Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me with Arkasha Stevenson
One of the more harrowing films we\u2019ve covered on the podcast (and the second film we\u2019ve covered in 2024 with a memorable \u201cgobble gobble\u201d line), 1992\u2019s TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME was not the quirky, enjoyable plotline wrap-up fans of Twin Peaks wanted. David Lynch instead challenged the audience to identify with Laura Palmer\u2019s humanity and pain, making her a real person - not just a girl wrapped in plastic. THE FIRST OMEN director Arkasha Stevenson joins us to talk about how this film (and WILD AT HEART) inspired her to become a filmmaker, the uncanny experience of watching it without any prior knowledge of the Twin Peaks series, and the directorial choices Lynch makes that create the film\u2019s deeply unsettling atmosphere.\n\xa0\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Twitter, Instagram, Threads and Facebook!\xa0\nBuy some real nerdy merch\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
